Special Event! Mark Your Cal!

We've been hinting something special was in the works!

We are so excited about our upcoming MONfest Fundraiser event where attendees are going to be able to customize and purchase your very own MONfest character plushie.

You'll also be able to purchase the limited edition MONfest3 RAYGUN CUSTOM teeshirt collaborations, and of course chill and vibe with the folk who bring you the festival year after year.

Join us June 6th from 10am - 2pm at RAYGUN in Ames - 301 Main St. - and pick up a little something to show your support of the festival before the big day.

Which character are you drawn to? Where will you clip your new addition? They make great bag charms and since you'll color yours in, each one is a true work of art!

KUB rocking a plushie! This was the sneak peek!

And speaking of our friend Kub...

Remember how he was at a gathering in Dubuque, IA?

From L-R, Kub (Kaleb Stevens), Jillian Webb Herrmann, Jenni Petersen-Brant, and Gabriella Torress at the Iowa Rural Summit

Well, he was there to promote and discuss the positive contributions of MONfest to Central Iowa along three additional artist change makers from other parts of the state.

Jon Berg, the Creative Community Development & Infrastructure Programs Manager of the Iowa Economic Authority, had this to note after the presentation - "Still reflecting on the amazing Arts and Culture as a Rural Catalyst panel at the Iowa Rural Summit in Dubuque...Thanks for all you do for the State of Iowa!"

Arts and economic development is our jam!
